About the Item
An elegant example of late 18th-century Italian craftsmanship: This neoclassical commode combines architectural clarity with refined marquetry details.
The two large drawers and the shallow top drawer are adorned with symmetrical and floral inlays crafted from various fruitwoods, set into a warm walnut veneer. The same ornamental motifs continue across the sides and the top, creating a cohesive and fully decorative presence.
Original brass fittings and keyhole escutcheons enhance its historic character, while the tapered, fluted legs reflect the influence of the Louis XVI style—typical of the neoclassical aesthetic.
A sophisticated collector’s piece, uniting authenticity, utility, and decorative finesse.

French Art Deco Sideboard with Floral Marquetry and Inward-Curved Front, 1930s
Located in Ulm, DE
This exquisite Art Deco sideboard from France, dating to the 1930s, is a masterwork of early 20th-century decorative arts — striking in both silhouette and craftsmanship. Its inwardly curved front sets it apart: a sculptural gesture that draws the gaze to its center, where a breathtaking marquetry medallion in warm-toned fruitwoods unfurls like a blooming bouquet. Accents in polished brass punctuate the composition with refined brilliance.
Crafted from a symphony of richly grained woods, the surface shimmers under a lustrous, hand-polished French shellac finish, applied in the traditional manner to enhance depth and clarity. The sideboard rests on a sleek, black lacquered plinth that subtly contrasts the warmth of the wood and reinforces its architectural presence.
Behind four doors — framed by veneered sunburst patterns that radiate from the center — lie generous storage compartments, beautifully finished inside and perfectly suited for dining essentials, collectibles, or even media equipment. The dimensions of this statement piece — 190 cm (74.8”) wide, 97.5 cm (38.4”) high, and 46 cm (18.1”) deep — make it a commanding yet elegant presence in both classic and contemporary interiors.
Whether used as a buffet in a dining room, a console in an entryway, or a stylish bar or media cabinet, this original 1930s Art Deco commode...

French Art Deco Dresser in Black Lacquer with Polished Nickel Hardware, 1940s
Located in Ulm, DE
This elegant French Art Deco chest of drawers, created in the 1940s, is a striking example of refined craftsmanship and bold design. Expertly restored and finished in a deep, mirror-like black piano lacquer, it radiates timeless glamour while offering practical sophistication for modern interiors.
Measuring 120 cm in width (47.2 in), 90 cm in height (35.4 in), and 50 cm in depth (19.7 in), this piece stands confidently without overwhelming a space — ideal for bedrooms, entryways, or living rooms. The commode features three spacious drawers, beautifully constructed with dovetail joints, each adorned with freshly nickel-plated circular handles that catch the light like finely cast jewelry.
What makes this piece truly captivating is its sculptural presence: the body curves subtly outward at the front, framed by vertical columns reminiscent of classical architecture. These columnar details are crowned with polished metal finials, their Art Deco lines softened by the lustrous sheen of fresh nickel. The base flows into elegantly shaped legs, finished with refined metal sabots that echo the visual rhythm of the upper corners.
The black lacquer surface is not simply painted, but built up through layers of traditional high-gloss piano finish — each one hand-polished to achieve a flawless, liquid-like surface that reflects its surroundings with incredible depth.
More than just a chest of drawers, this Art Deco commode is a sculptural statement — designed to be admired, touched, and used. Whether holding your wardrobe essentials or serving as a luxurious accent in a curated interior, this piece embodies the elegance of 1940s Paris...
